  • In the lower part of the very first to the spectator of the pyramid, draw three more small figures. All of them should be slightly missed until the middle of the first pyramid.
  • Now use a simple pencil to make shadows in the right places. Approximately as shown in the picture below. The three lower objects have a stepped shape. So try to portray them as a three-story cake. And although in reality the smallest pyramids are partially destroyed, it is up to you to show these irregularities or not.

  • Add a couple of camels here, so that the pyramids on their background seem huge. Use the shadows to indicate irregularities on the sand surface.
  • If you have the time and desire, you can draw the blocks themselves, from which the pyramids were built. How to draw pyramids: smooth or more believable - with masonry, decide for yourself. Blocks in shape resemble huge uneven bricks. In addition, focus more on horizontal lines, rather than on vertical lines, since from the very beginning the first ones are noticeably better.

This will create the necessary contrast, will give brightness to the picture.
